Dynamic traffic control with ITS technology can make travel time estimation on highway more reliable. Especially, when drivers would like to avoid traffic congestion in urban areas, dynamic traffic information may be useful for them. In this study, subjects are supposed to drive their passenger cars from Joban expressway to Tokyo city center. First, current traffic condition of study area is explained. Then, when subjects are provided with estimated travel time and Park and Ride information, behavioral changes of subjects are examined through Stated Preference (SP) survey. Finally, effects generated by P&R are discussed through “Activity Based Approach”.
